The Impact of TEEAL on the Usage of AGORA in Academic and Research Institutions in Uganda International Science Review 1(2), 2020 ISSN 2693-0315 The Impact of TEEAL on the usage of AGORA in Academic and Research Institutions in Uganda Onan Mulumba* Librarian I, College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda Alison Annet Kinengyere Senior Librarian, College of Health Sciences, Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda *Corresponding author: [email protected] DOI: https://doi.org/10.47285/isr.v1i2.41 Citation: Mulumba, O. & Kinengyere, A. A. (2020). The impact of TEEAL on the usage of AGORA in Academic and Research Institutions in Uganda, International Science Review, 1(2), 12-24. DOI: https://doi.org/10.47285/isr.v1i2.41 Research Article Abstract The Essential Electronic Agricultural Library (TEEAL) and the Access to Global Online Research in Agriculture (AGORA) are key information support programs in learning, teaching, and research. They provide access to relevant scientific evidence, in agriculture and related sciences. While AGORA was introduced in Uganda in 2005, TEEAL was introduced earlier as a “Library in a Box” and later as LAN-TEEAL. With the recent increase in acquisition of TEEAL sets at a number of academic and research institutions in Uganda and with the TEEAL and AGORA campaigns through the training organized under the Information Training and Outreach Center for Africa (ITOCA), it is not clear how TEEAL has impacted on Agricultural research and on the usage of AGORA as an online program in Uganda. The aim of his paper was to explore how TEEAL is used compared to its counterpart, AGORA. The key question to this study relates to respondents’ preference among the two programs and the underlying reasons. An online questionnaire was used to gather responses regarding preference and use of the two programs by students, academics, librarians, IT specialists, and researchers at the various institutions in Uganda. The study was informed by a review of literature from related studies. Findings from 59 respondents indicate that all (100%) the respondents had an idea of TEEAL while for AGORA it was 58 (98.3%) respondents. Of the respondents, 52.5% preferred TEEAL to AGORA because it required no internet access, although the majority believed that AGORA was more important than TEEAL, due to the coverage of more relevant online scientific literature. The most prominent challenges to TEEAL and AGORA were network failures and slow internet, respectively. TEEAL and AGORA were both acknowledged to be very vital resources for academic and research institutions in Uganda. TEEAL mainly had one advantage over AGORA and that is being an offline resource that can be used in institutions with unreliable and inadequate internet. AGORA was also found to have an advantage over TEEAL in that it had a wider content coverage. The most common strategy for improving the use of both programs, as stated by the respondents, was increasing awareness through training and marketing. It was thus recommended that the program hosts utilize the results of this study to improve the utilization of these vital agricultural databases through further training and awareness. It was also recommended that institutions be advised to strengthen their IT infrastructure to support the programs and ensure effective use, for increasing their academic and research output. 12 Published by Scientific Research Initiative, 3112 Jarvis Ave, Warren, MI 48091, USA © Mulumba & Kinengyere Keywords: TEEAL, AGORA, E-Resources, Agricultural information, Research4Life. 1. Introduction Access to online information in academic and research institutions has increased over the years, with improvements in ICTs (Berzins & Hudson, 2011), an increase in student in-take as well as increased agricultural and related sciences research (Angello, 2010). The Essential Electronic Agricultural Library (TEEAL) and the Access to Global Online Research in Agriculture (AGORA) have taken center stage in supporting learning, teaching, and research in Africa. Uganda in particular currently has about forty-five (45) academic and research institutions registered for and using AGORA (Research4Life Communications, 2016), while more than eighteen (18) academic and research institutions have received TEEAL sets and are currently using the program. 1.1 About AGORA AGORA is one of the four portals of Research4Life programs led by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), in collaboration with publishers and other partners. It started in October 2003 and currently provides access to more than 6500 journals from the world’s leading academic publishers. AGORA aims at improving: the quality and effectiveness of agricultural research, education, and training in low-income countries, as well as food security (Lwoga, Chimwaza, Aronson, & Vent, 2007). In Uganda, more than forty-four institutions have so far registered to use AGORA. 1.2 About TEEAL The Essential Electronic Agricultural Library (TEEAL) is a project of Cornell University’s Albert R. Mann Library, Ithaca, New York (http://teeal.cornell.edu/), developed in 1998-1999, and is a full‐text and bibliographic database of about 465,000 full-text articles from over 350 agricultural and bioscience journals available to over 100 eligible developing countries. TEEAL content is updated annually and currently spans from the period of 1993‐2014. It includes over two million pages of papers, provided by over 80 participating publishers and index providers. TEEAL was initially available on CD‐ROM but during the summer of 2005 LanTEEAL was introduced, making access easy through the Local Area Networks (Vent, 2005). The initial LanTEEAL was developed on a hard drive which could be connected to the computer using a Universal Serial Bus (USB). The most recent version is a mini-server computer with full computer functionality which can be connected to a Local Area Network (LAN) switch using an Ethernet cable. The journal titles covered by TEEAL were selected by international scientists using citation analysis of journals frequently used by agricultural scientists in developing countries and so form a core set of relevant literature sources. TEEAL is an off-line database that can be accessed even by institutions that have internet challenges. The beneficiary countries include Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, as well as Bangladesh. Institutions in these countries have acquired the TEEAL sets through several funding sources such as; CTA, USAID, and the Bill and Melinda gates foundation. This funding initiative followed recommendations from a report by Ochs (2005) to the Rockefeller Foundation in which she called for further support to the developing world as regards access to scientific literature. 2. Background Cornell University’s Albert R. Mann Library, in conjunction with ITOCA, received a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to bridge the information gap between developed and developing countries through TEEAL production, distribution, outreach, marketing, and training throughout the African continent. It is against this background that ITOCA recruited training and outreach officers in several African countries to promote TEEAL and to ensure that researchers and students in these countries can access the most current literature in TEEAL. Not only did the 13 Published by Scientific Research Initiative, 3112 Jarvis Ave, Warren, MI 48091, USA International Science Review 1(2), 2020 training program focus on building scientific capacity, but also the economic capacity throughout the world (Chimwaza et al., 2017). Uganda, being one of the beneficiary countries, two Training and Outreach Officers were recruited and these helped in delivering the training to partner institutions. Between May 2014 and March 2016, twenty (20) workshops (institutional and local) were conducted in Uganda covering several academic and research institutions, which included; Makerere University, Busitema University, Uganda Martyrs University (UMU), Ankole Western Institute of Science, and Technology (AWIST), Uganda Christian University (UCU), Gulu University, Kyambogo University, African Rural University (ARU), Bishop Stuart University (BSU), and National Fisheries Resources Research Institute (NaFIRRI). Initially, each institution received one major funded training and the trainees were encouraged to conduct subsequent local training at their respective institutions. The Librarians normally receive queries about authentication and download failures while using the online journals and such challenges are, to a greater extent, external to the institutions. However, with TEEAL, the challenges are always internal, short-lived, and mostly, solvable, internally. Therefore, as trainers who participated in creating awareness of TEEAL in Uganda, it was necessary to establish whether the activities conducted created an impact in the research community. It is against this background that the researchers set out to study the impact of TEEAL on AGORA in Uganda. 3. Problem statement TEEAL and AGORA are two essential information resources in agricultural research. Whereas AGORA and TEEAL serve the same purpose, the mode of access is different. AGORA is accessed entirely through the internet while TEEAL is accessed offline. Some agricultural research and academic institutions are based in rural areas with limited access to the internet, thus, the relevance of TEEAL. The Essential Electronic Agricultural Library (TEEAL) which is accessed through the local area network (LanTEEAL), launched in 2005, was introduced to enable a larger

  • Effectiveness of Internship in Fostering Learning: the Case of African Rural University
    Psychology Research, January 2016, Vol. 6, No. 1, 32-41 doi:10.17265/2159-5542/2016.01.004 D DAVID PUBLISHING Effectiveness of Internship in Fostering Learning: The Case of African Rural University Florence Ndibuuza African Rural University, Kagadi-Kibaale, Uganda Internship is deemed to be a prerequisite for a 21st Century graduate to survive in the world of work. It’s on the basis of this that this study sought to establish the effectiveness of internship in respect to learning in the field among undergraduates of African Rural University. The quantitative survey involved 23 students and 53 community members who filled a questionnaire and an interview guide respectively. Data analysis involved the use of percentages, means and multiple regression. The results of the study revealed that the three independent variables: cognitive, behavioral, and environmental learning experience (CLE, BLE and ELE) were not correlates of internship. It’s upon this background that it was recommended that the key players of the university ought to lay undue emphasis on enhancing CLE, BLE, and ELE, rather effort should be put on other elements to learning. Keywords: internship, learning, cognitive, behavioral and environmental experience Introduction Internship has been associated with several benefits to all key concerned stakeholders including the intern, academic institution and the employer. Accordingly studies (e.g., Steffen, 2010; Bukaliya, 2012; Papadimitriou, 2014) highlighted that internship provides authentic work experience to students. The institution is said to benefit through the increased cooperation and rapport with the internship organization, Bukaliya (2012) yet (Neugebauer, 2009; Steffen, 2010) mentioned that many employers use internship as the main tool for recruiting new talent.

  • The Evolution of African Rural University Co-Designed by Its Faculty, Students, and End-Customers (People the Grads Will Serve)
    Patricia Seybold Group / Case Study The Evolution of African Rural University Co-Designed by Its Faculty, Students, and End-Customers (People the Grads Will Serve) By Patricia B. Seybold, CEO & Sr. Consultant, Patricia Seybold Group April 11, 2013 NETTING IT OUT This is the story of the creation of a unique institution—one that is likely to impact the lives of millions of people in Africa. It’s a story about having and realizing a vision—a BIG vision. The vision isn’t the creation of a successful university. The vision is about the work that the graduates of that university will be empowered to do. The vision is about the seeds of creativity and innovation that will be planted in the people these graduates touch. The African Rural University (ARU) is unique in a number of respects: 1. It offers transformative education—As a departure from the classic university education that emphasizes theory, ARU emphasizes the practicality of learning, hence there are many course hours devoted to contact with communities. 2. It is part of a continuum of educational institutions, from primary through secondary (URDT Schools) to university—all with similar learning threads in: the Principles of the Creative Process, community learning, entrepreneurship, creating social capital, and sustainable development in order to produce visionary leaders. 3. The curriculum is developed and evolves from the experiences and aspirations of the communities in which ARU is embedded. 4. ARU draws inspiration from its Traditional Wisdom Specialists, the old men and women who are repositories of traditional knowledge, and who serve as auxiliary "professors." 5.

  • Open Access Institutional Repositories in Selected East African Universities: Achievements, Challenges and the Way Forward
    OPEN ACCESS INSTITUTIONAL REPOSITORIES IN SELECTED EAST AFRICAN UNIVERSITIES: ACHIEVEMENTS, CHALLENGES AND THE WAY FORWARD Miriam Kakai Librarian Digitisation Section Makerere University Library Abstract Institutional repositories (IRs) have been around since the early 2000’s and in East Africa since 2006, specifically at Makerere University in Uganda. Universities in East Africa are still in the intermediate stages of embracing open access and libraries have taken the lead in initiating and implementing IRs. The network of open access repositories was envisioned as the backbone of the open access movement as libraries around the world began implementing and capturing the intellectual assets of their institutions. Researchers in developing countries were thought to benefit more from the open access movement, given that they were more pressed for scholarly literature during the serials crisis and much of their research output was grey literature with few publication avenues. Are repositories in East Africa enabling online dissemination and accessibility of the scholarly information in universities? This paper, therefore, sought to establish the achievements of open access institutional repositories in universities in East Africa, the challenges affecting the provision of open access, and the strategies that could be recommended as the way forward. Data for this paper was collected through a thorough search of the Internet, journal databases and university websites in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda to identify literature about open access and institutional repositories in East Africa. The findings reported were also partially based on the author’s PhD research and practice as an IR manager. Keywords: Open access, Institutional repositories, Universities, East Africa Introduction Open access is the “free availability and unrestricted use” of publications or scholarly literature/information online (Suber, 2015).

  • Appreciative Inquiry an Effective Approach to Rural Transformation
    Appreciative inquiry an effective approach to rural transformation Ronald Buye 4/1/2014 Appreciative inquiry is one of the approaches that have been used by different development practitioners to bring about transformation in rural communities. The paper focuses on the principles and process of appreciative inquiry. It uses relevant examples from the field to demonstrate that appreciative inquiry is an effective approach to rural transformation. Appreciative inquiry: an effective approach to rural community development Appreciative inquiry is one of the approaches used by different development practitioners to realize rural transformation. The paper focuses on the process and principles of appreciative inquiry. The paper uses relevant examples from the field to demonstrate that appreciative inquiry is an effective approach to rural transformation. This approach was first developed by scholars from the Case Western Reserve University. One of these scholars was David Cooperrider. It was desgined to attach importance on what people, organizations value ,cherish and have accomplished in order to build on it to realize sustainable change. McShane and Von Glinow, (2000) note that: “Appreciative Inquiry tries to break out of the problem solving metality by reframing relationship around the postive and the possible. It takes the view that organizations are creative entities in which people are capable of building synergy beyond the individual capabilities”. Mcshane and Von Glinow „ interpretation of the concept calls for a shift in orientation from the problem solving orietation to the creative orientation. Appreciative inquiry is based on the premise that every group of people, community, organization or institution has something that has worked, works, and those strengths can be the starting point for creating a positive change (Cooperrider, Whitney, & Stavros, 2008).
